Doesn't Oz have the same issue with needing to launch a virtual machine? I
don't think we want to run the install under QEMU.
It does, but this isn't a huge problem because installation is so
entirely I/O-bound.
Or do you mean it's a problem to run qemu at all? qemu certainly runs
inside Koji just fine -- we run that all the time.
febootstrap works off the RPMs directly, but has other limitations.
